Title: Interactive electronic thermostat
Inventor: BERKELEY ARNOLD D
IPC: G05D23/19
Filed: 1989-12-07
Granted: 1992-08-20
Abstract: An interactive electronic thermostat operates to communicate with an installed through an audible or visual display and keypad to instruct the installer to perform tasks and enter observations to effect proper connections at the thermostat of heater/air conditioner wires in spite of the absence of labels identifying the functions of those wires. The thermostat requires entry of coded indicia representing operator-observed conditions in the system in response to displayed instructions carried out by the operator. Control circuits are automatically assigned functional tasks in response to the operator-observed conditions entered into the system. Different program routines are invoked depending upon the number of system wires and the type of heater/air conditioner being controlled. Under appropriate circumstances, messages are displayed informing the operator/homeowner that the thermostat is incompatible, or has no advantageous use, with the heater/air conditioner. In one embodiment the installer need only connect the wires to the thermostat terminals one time; the thermostat reconfigures its internal connection paths in response to installer-entered indicia to assure proper control of the system.

Title: Process for producing usable energy from parallel flows
Inventor: SCHATZ JURGEN
IPC: F03D1/04
Filed: 1996-05-08
Granted: 1998-02-26
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE92/00450 Sec. 371 Date Nov. 24, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Nov. 24, 1993 PCT Filed May 29, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO92/21878 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 10, 1992.A device including a flow unit generating a potential vortex having an inflow aperture and an outflow aperture, together with a turbine arranged in the direction of flow of the potential vortex. The flow unit comprises an outer hollow member having a plurality of flaps and plates at both ends, with one plate containing the outflow aperture, and an inner hollow member arranged concentrically of the outer hollow member. The built-up pressure acting on the outer hollow member opens some of the movable flaps and closes others, which generates a rotary flow. The rotary flow, while flowing tangentially into the inner hollow member, is accelerated further and forms a swirl flow which is directed outwardly by the vacuum at the outflow aperture and which, after having passed through the outflow aperture, is converted into the potential vortex by the shear forces of the parallel flows. A separating element in the outer member divides the rotary flow into a first and a second partial flow and has a through-flow aperture directed towards the inner hollow member. The potential vortex draws a flow volume from the second partial flow or from outside through the through-flow aperture, with the turbine being arranged in the potential vortex. Vortex generating elements convert the second partial flow into a plurality of vortices, with the vortices being included in the potential vortex. The potential vortex coil produced in this way generates an intensifying flow field.

Title: Transversal equalisers
Inventor: ASH CHRISTOPHER PATRICK
IPC: H04L25/03
Filed: 1980-09-04
Granted: 1983-09-29
Abstract: The presence of a d.c. offset in the input signal to an adaptive equalizer for a high speed modem must be removed before a valid signal enters the equalizer if the "coefficient up-date" algorithm for the equalizer is not to be confused. Normally the d.c compensation is achieved using adjust-on-test resistors or potentiometers which provide for in life adjustments to compensate for ageing drift. The submission envisages the use of an additional adaptive equalizer tap-stage connected to a fixed voltage source. This voltage is multiplied by the additional tap-stage multiplier and summed with the outputs of the other tap-stages in the equalizers accumulator. The error produced from the equalizer decision circuit is correlated with the fixed voltage in the additional tap-stage correlator the output of which controls the gain of the additional tap-stage multiplier thereby compensating for the original d.c. offset of the output of the equalizer accumulator.

Title: Method and device for the reduction of the danger of getting caught in automatic doors
IPC: E05F15/10
Filed: 1990-11-26
Granted: 1993-05-20
Abstract: By means of this method and the arrangement, in the case of an automatic door, especially in the case of lifts with a controlled door drive which moves doors of a cabin door by means of a motor with a reduction gear and a mechanical drive, and moves doors of a shaft door via mechanical coupling elements, protection against being caught, responding up to the last few mm of a door closing movement with constant force levels, is provided. In this case, this is done by a control error dV being continuously compared during the door closing movement with a maximum permissible control error dVmax produced by a nominal value sensor (3.5) and, if this maximum control error is exceeded, the door is stopped with subsequent reversing. The response levels for an external disturbing force (3.9) are kept constant by a calibration trip computer (3.11) determining values for mass compensation (3.12) and values for friction compensation (3.13) during periodic calibration trips and supplying these values as a compensation value Vk to a second comparator (3.2). In consequence, the magnitude of an external disturbing force (3.9) is also known, or can be measured precisely, with a defined gain of the controller (3.8) and a known torque characteristic of the DC motor (2.1), which creates the precondition for safe protection against being caught.
